Right at the beginning. Many guys will have a problem with this. They are not worth keeping around because the right guy will love you for all of who you are. A child should be an integral part of who a mother is. I married a woman with a child, and I love him as my own. We've never looked back.

Given the price and highly technical nature of the device, and having read some of the posts from regulars here, I'd say you'll be hard pressed to find a regular here who uses/has used one. There are people here who have lashed out against hand paddles in the water. However, if you head on over to…

Chef Jose Garces has a book out called, The Latin Road Home, and it's got a quinoa recipe that's awesome. I'm not sure I can put it on here because of copyright issues, but the recipe is called Crema de Quinoa de Zuleta. Here's a link to where it's posted for free without violating the copyright:…

If you're having trouble with sustained laps swimming butterfly, try slowing it down. I had this problem when I started swimming again. I remembered in high school, we swam slow, but sustained butterfly laps. It feels more natural to go all out when swimming fly, and so you inherently want to move fast, but you'll find if…

FALSE: Men don't have feelings.

Maybe not. Maybe they're either cheating on their girlfriend/wife, or cheating on their workout.

I couldn't wear any of my non-basketball/non-board shorts at the beginning of the summer, and now they all fit. Specifically, a pair I haven't worn in five years because the button would always pop fits fine, and I can't make the button pop even if I stick my stomach and waist out as far as I can. I could pop the button…

Show of hands: if a friend logged one minute of sex on MFP, who would comment and make fun of said friend? That's why it's not in the database.

I think the state of New Mexico needs to define "Malicious Fecal Distribution" as a tort by statute. Get this guy some money for having to put up with her crap.

My most embarrassing thing happened when my brothers made fun of my gut just about popping the buttons off of my shirt while at my other brother's wedding. I seriously looked like a stuffed sausage in it. I wore that shirt to church today, and looked good in it!

Suggestions: 1) Watch some how to videos online. They can teach you how to properly execute all the strokes. Form is everything in swimming. It's what helps you build endurance. It's what makes you fast. It's what prevents repetitive use stress injuries. Form is everything. I would suggest doing lots of research and trying…

I wear only a Speedo* every day when I work out, and I'm not even at my goal weight. If you've got it, flaunt it. Even if you don't - and I most certainly do not - it's the best type of suit to wear if the pool is your primary workout location. *disclaimer: I wear a jammer style like the Olympic swimmers do.

The FDA does not require foods under 3 cal to be reported on the nutrition information labels. Most pickles report 0 cals. Eat a pickle. MFP won't register it as having eaten any cals, but you'll know the truth of the matter.

Don't worry about how fast/slow you are. Everybody is slow compared to somebody... except Michael Phelps.

I've never played, but that sounds awesome. You should do it and report back to us.

This is by far the MOST delicious way to enjoy black beans. The recipe is from Three Guys from Miami, and it's a Cuban dish. Here's the link: http://icuban.com/food/moros_y_cristianos.html.

I often sing that song unprovoked by thread titles. These threads are an extra reason to put on my aviators and start singing.

Just chug it and work that much harder at the gym that day.

I won't post the actual images because they are both part of two very informative and comprehensive bathroom etiquette articles, but read these links. If you don't use proper bathroom etiquette, then these will help improve your life. If you do, these will help you burn some serious calories from laughing.…

60 plus minutes six days/week. I absolutely love it, too.

Don't let that stop you. I don't look great in my Speedo jammer, and there aren't a whole lot of people in the pool where I swim who like the way they look in a suit. Just get in there and swim. The more you do the happier you'll be with how you look in a suit.

I often think about conversations I will soon be having, and play them out in my head, only my lips move and my facial expressions match the imaginary conversation. Sometimes this is done in the presence of my wife and kids.

The answer depends on how authentic the place is. If it's more Ameri-Mex kind of food, you're probably better off not going. Most American made attempts at Mexican dishes include a lot of fried stuff covered in cheese. For example, at a well known restaurant in the city where I live, a taco is a fried corn tortilla stuffed…
